<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwRm"></A>Switch <B>-R-</B>  -  disable recursion<hr></P>

<p>Disable the subfolder recursion.</p>

<p>Even without <A HREF="HELPSwR.htm"><B>-r switch</B></A> WinRAR can enable
the recursion automatically in some situations. Switch -r- prohibits it.</p>

<p>If you specify a folder name when archiving and if such name does not
include wildcards, by default WinRAR adds the folder contents even
if switch -r is not specified. Also WinRAR automatically enables
the recursion if disk root without wildcards is specified as a file mask.
Switch -r- disables such behavior.</p>
            
<p>For example:</p>
            
<blockquote>
  <p class="sample">WinRAR a -r- arc dirname</p>
</blockquote>
            
<p>command will add only the empty 'dirname' folder and ignore 
its contents. Following command:</p>
            
<blockquote>
  <p class="sample">WinRAR a -r- arc c:\</p>
</blockquote>
            
<p>will compress contents of root c: folder only and will not recurse
into subfolders.</p>
